Chapter 828: Chapter 828: The Unscrupulous Inn (1)

Could it be that they belong to the same school?

While Ye Ge was slightly surprised in that moment, the second prince continued to make his moves, saying as he did so, "The number one master of Dajin indeed lives up to his reputation, but it’s not very nice of you to let your mind wander during a contest, is it?"

Ye Ge parried while responding, "Where did Your Highness learn these Kung Fu skills?"

"Are you obsessed with martial arts or what? What does it matter to you where I learned it from? Even if I told you, you wouldn’t recognize it, right?" the second prince said arrogantly.

"Forget it if you won’t say," Ye Ge thought that perhaps Nan Feng’s master traveled everywhere, taking disciples as fate would have it, picking whoever came along.

The battle resumed.

Lu Jianxi on the side watched the second prince closely; he seemed sly and malicious, and she worried that he might resort to some underhanded move, concerned that Ye Ge would be caught off guard when that happened.

Looking at the strength of the two combatants, they were almost evenly matched. Ye Ge’s techniques were quick and varied, stable yet fast. The second prince was likewise, but his moves looked strangely odd. It was unclear what school or style he had trained in, but the barbarians were different from the Central Plains people to begin with; they excelled more in wrestling and the like, probably having developed their own unique style.

After fighting for half an hour, Ye Ge finally found the second prince’s weakness. Like Nan Feng, he was not good at lightness skills, so Ye Ge leapt onto the horseback, repeatedly using his spear in midair to thrust at the second prince. From then on, the second prince fell into a disadvantage, only able to dodge, no longer able to attack.

Having been defeated, the second prince didn’t show any sign of frustration; he simply said "Alright, you’ve won," then rode back to his side. Once he had maintained a safe distance, he stood in place and laughed, "Since you’ve won, we’ll keep to our original agreement. A truce for half a year. You guys can take this time to rest and recuperate. When the spring is warm and flowers bloom tomorrow, we can arrange another ’boom,’ oh no, another battle."

Ye Ge, still mounted, watched as the second prince’s side departed in an orderly fashion. And even after a long while, the second prince turned back to wave at Ye Ge, grinning with a quite sinister smile.

Lu Jianxi rode up beside Ye Ge and said with great distaste, "Look at his arrogant demeanor."

"It’s all bluffing. His only strength is his explosives. Give the order; during this period, we must keep a close watch on the barbarians. Bring anyone suspicious in for questioning."

"Yes!"

...

Nan Feng didn’t dare to take major roads, so she kept to the minor paths.

After returning from the Hunting Ground, she had learned how to ride a horse. Now that she was fleeing, she rode Mama at breakneck speed, and in this way dashed through the entire juncture.

Because she took the byways, she encountered hardly any people on the road. When she finally came upon a small inn, she faced a dilemma:

Smart her whole life, but foolish in a moment. In her haste to escape, she’d grabbed only a handful of banknotes. Could she possibly pay the bill with banknotes?

Fortunately, the currency of this period was common throughout the Dajin dynasty. Surely this little inn could make change, right?

Nan Feng couldn’t bother with such concerns anymore. It was already dark, and she was starved to the point of faintness. She needed to eat her fill and have a good night’s sleep.

"Yo, Lady, are you here to eat or to stay at the Inn?" a person looking like a server came up to greet Nan Feng.

But as Nan Feng stepped inside the Inn, she was taken aback by the scene before her.

She had thought that this remote inn wouldn’t have many customers, but upon entering, she found all four dining tables were packed with people. And these were clearly not good folks; each one was oddly dressed, exuding an air of villainy.
